Abstract

One aim of the Plant Business project is to identify how laws and institutions can support the interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the commercialisation of their traditional plant foods (‘bush foods’). This brief provides an overview of findings from three years of research in relation to the capacity of law to support the diverse interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this commercial context. The aim of the brief is to further discussion and investigation of options to strengthen the position of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the development of their traditional foods.
